Killer Veggies From Outer Space, + more 3D

Most Intimidating. Salad. Ever. Artist Till Nowak has rendered an Alien xenomorph out of vegetables. His behind-the-scenes PDF is worth a look as well, especially if you’re interested in 3D techniques. [Via] In a slightly related vein, the boys at JibJab have posted a collection of substantially friendlier sandwich art. (Not sure who created these; the photo set has been going around as one of those things that gets forwarded by one’s mom.) [Via]

Pepakura Designer is a tool for for 3D papercraft. Pepakura is not a modelling app; rather, it converts 3D models into 2D designs that you can print out, then assemble into papercraft creations. The gallery features some impressive models, such as Cláudio Dias’s paper McLaren. [Via Florian Krüsch]

Plushie is "an interactive system that allows nonprofessional users to design their own original plush toys." Check out its novel interface for sculpting blobs–something even kids can use. [Via Nikolai Svakhin]

Loved both the Intimidating Salad artwork by Till Nowak and the real life sandwich art. I’m going to try to make some of those myself as they look really great :-)
BTW also some great student finalists in the 7th Adobe Design Achievement Awards. Did you maybe check them out already and have any thoughts on them?[Ah, I have been behind on checking those out. Thanks for the reminder to do so. –J.]

I sent my brother a link to the papercraft Back to the Future DeLorean thinking that he would love it, and he sent me back a link to the slightly more refined work of Peter Callesen at http://www.petercallesen.com/index/index2.html[Oh yes, I’ve been meaning to blog Peter’s work for some time. Thanks for the reminder. –J.]
I guess its time to rethink the types of material that I forward to my younger brother… :)
